CS2 Case Hardened skins generally operate on a very simple principle: the more blue, the better. Skin patterns with a certain percentage of blue are called Blue Gems by the community, and have extra value compared to regular Case Hardened skins.
The latest addition to the roster is the Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem, which drops from the Gallery and Kilowatt Case. As the newest CS2 knife, there’s naturally some intrigue around this one – let’s check out the best Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem patterns.
Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 0 Pattern: 494
The Kukri Knife Case Hardened Pattern 494 is generally regarded as the best Blue Gem for this knife. It exists outside of the typical tier system adopted by the community. If you get a Kukri Knife Case Blue Gem in Pattern 494, you can expect it to sell for much more than a typical Blue Gem. It’s easy to see why, too, with almost the entire knife enveloped in a consistent blue.
Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 1 Patterns
All the Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 1 Patterns are almost as good as the number one Pattern, but usually just have one or two blemishes that really hold them back from the top spot. Still, these Kukri Knife Blue Gems are not going to come cheap, and you can still expect significant overpay with these.
- Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 1 Patterns: 112, 330, 510, 575, 618, 631, 652, 770, 808, 838, 844, 868, 891, 917, 985
Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 2 Patterns
Each Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Pattern tier follows the same formula, with less and less blue each time. Tier 2 is no different. However, out of all 1,000 Kukri Knife Case Hardened Patterns, there are still only 15 of them in Tier 2, so they are still extremely rare.
- Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 2 Patterns: 38, 61, 130, 283, 335, 371, 638, 643, 682, 702, 721, 798, 811, 841, 881
Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 3 Patterns
With the Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 3 Patterns, you really start to see why they’re worse than Tier 1 and 2. Blue is still the primary color, but you’ll start to see a lot more yellow creep into these Kukri Knife Blue Gems. It’s also where you’ll start to notice the price come down, so that’s a bonus.
- Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 3 Patterns: 14, 34, 42, 73, 74, 89, 92, 98, 116, 134, 175, 182, 188, 194, 243, 244, 256, 262, 263, 273, 281, 282, 305, 306, 318, 334, 347, 375, 398, 411, 414, 426, 442, 453, 457, 468, 488, 499, 505, 515, 522, 528, 547, 576, 612, 616, 629, 630, 642, 657, 664, 694, 698, 708, 711, 713, 749, 768, 776, 800, 809, 823, 853, 854, 858, 883, 885, 902, 907, 916, 919, 961, 989
Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 4 Patterns
The Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 4 Patterns. Or, as I like to call them, Blue Gems by technicality. There’s technically enough blue for these Patterns to be considered Kukri Knife Blue Gems, but you might not know they counted if you hadn’t checked this list. They can be splotchy or blemished – either way, they’re the worst Kukri Knife Blue Gems out there.
- Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem Tier 4 Patterns: 4, 11, 20, 25, 27, 29, 53, 55, 56, 57, 72, 85, 101, 106, 108, 109, 134, 138, 147, 153, 168, 176, 177, 179, 191, 208, 214, 236, 245, 248, 254, 254, 269, 297, 310, 311, 320, 321, 322, 339, 341, 358, 365, 377, 381, 387, 395, 396, 397, 416, 429, 445, 458, 463, 470, 478, 483, 497, 507, 509, 513, 527, 541, 542, 545, 548, 556, 557, 563, 596, 598, 609, 622, 633, 637, 655, 658, 670, 672, 697, 700, 717, 727, 741, 753, 775, 780, 782, 788, 801, 803, 816, 820, 826, 828, 846, 849, 852, 860, 866, 875, 888, 893, 899, 905, 914, 918, 924, 927, 928, 935, 942, 953, 955, 958, 964, 965, 976

Why is the Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem so rare in CS2?

How much does a Kukri Knife Case Hardened Blue Gem cost?
There isn’t a definitive answer to this, as it depends on the wear rating and the tier. For context, the best Blue Gem (494) currently sells for $10,000+ on CSFloat in Well Worn, with Minimal Wear available for $15,000. However, taking a random Tier 4 for example (780), that currently sells for around $600 in Factory New. Pattern is definitely the biggest factor.

How do I know if my Kukri Knife Case Hardened is a Blue Gem?
While you can usually tell by looking in-game, you can check the Pattern by inspecting it and hovering over the small I icon at the bottom of your screen. Check out the Pattern Template number – if it lines up with any of the Pattern tiers listed above, then congratulations: you have a Kukri Knife Blue Gem.
How does float value affect Blue Gem Kukri Knives?
Blue Gem Kukri Knives are massively affected by float – even if you get a high-tier Case Hardened, the value and appearance will always be diminished if it’s Battle-Scarred rather than Factory New.
